    Working the needles

     

    Oh sorry….was the click, click, click, click bothering you??

    I apologize. I gave my mom a couple of these scarves for her b-day a few weeks ago and a bunch of the ladies in her building have been asking where she got them.  When she said “my daughter makes them”, they were all excited.

    I’ve been enlisted to make a bunch and bring them over for the ladies to peruse.

    Missing Tea

    I never realized that I’d be busy over summer.
    Honestly, I don’t know where the times goes.
    I’m afraid my Tea Tuesday friends from Kimmie’s blog may have forgotten about me or worse, thought I forgot about them.
    I’m skipping the tea for today and going for a big glass of ice water.
    We’ve had so much rain here. Now high temps and humidity…with more storms due tonight.

     

    My garden is mud…
    Luckily the plants aren’t seeming to mind.

     

    I’ve got tomatoes on every plant.

     

     

    In addition to gardening, I’ve been “home-schooling” this summer. Trying to keep the kids brains engaged so they can retain the info they’ve already learned.

    Other craft goodness has been on the agenda as well.
    We just came home from knitting group…

     

    And I’ve been sewing as well.
    So I guess when you add up everything going on, it’s not to difficult to see where the time went.
    What’s keeping you busy this summer?

    Ruffle scarf and rainy days

    I finally got a half way decent picture taken of my latest scarf.
     It’s so dark and dreary that my usual photo op spots just wouldn’t work.
    We are definitely out of the drought…
    I dumped 4.2 inches out of our rain gauge this morning…and it’s raining again.
    I’ve started on a blue one for Little J. I was surprised at her choice of color…usually she’s all about the bright and wild colors. Her newest thing is to wear two different colored socks. I’m glad she marches to the beat of her own drummer!! I’m like that now but definitely wasn’t as a kid.
